Dont Trust Me

Dont trust me i whisper to myself But surely my lies i could tell Fractured emotions on wingless back wage meaningless and undeserved attacks Whispers choked by guttural slants freely give myself to all my cants my recall from anothers thoughts Splinter psyche and frayed emotion gather round to point and muse Always me in anothers shoes Fear and hate rise through the ranks Stand atop a mound of mirth Self respect lies closely by buried facing away from the sky Hope impaled for all to see A warning of what will be Memories the dusky paths formed of patience dust killing the self so softly Licking emotions from my salty hands The life inside no longer stands Pity never pitys me For in my mind we are never to be free
